A fire at a Tomago powder coating business has prompted a major response from firefighters.
Newcastle Fire Command says they received a report about flames coming from the business on Enterprise Drive just after 6.0pm on Wednesday.
7 fire trucks, a duty commander and the RFS were called to the blaze amid concerns about paint thinners and chemicals stored on site.
Around 30 firefighters managed to contain the fire to one room of the business, taking two hours to fully extinguish and mop up the blaze.
The cause of the fire is not known at the stage but it's not being treated as suspicious.
